The website's audience is offered a prediction for the match on April 24, 2024.
Marseille has been struggling throughout the season
After successfully defending their third-place finish in the previous Ligue 1 season, Olympique appointed a new coach last summer. However, Marselino quickly left amid conflicts with fans and management. His successor, Gattuso, lasted only six months before being removed due to on-field issues with the Provence team at the end of winter. Things didn't improve much under Gasset either. In the Europa League, Marseille defeated Shakhtar and Villarreal but lost 1-2 to Benfica. Prior to that, they suffered defeats against Rennes, PSG, and Lille in the league. They managed to win at home against the Portuguese team, securing a 1-0 victory and confidently winning the post-match penalties. Following that, they settled for a 2-2 draw with Toulouse.
Nice has slipped in the standings by the end of winter.
The Eagles, under their current owners, not only have significant ambitions but have also invested heavily to realize them. However, their achievements haven't matched their aspirations, evident from their ninth-place finish last season. It seemed like they made progress in the summer by bringing in the relatively unknown Farioni. Under the Italian, they performed well, remaining unbeaten until winter and appearing to be PSG's main challenger. However, their results declined afterward (since February, they've only defeated Lorient), affecting their position in the current standings. Even after a 3-0 win against Lorient, they struggled to maintain their fifth position.
Previous matches
In 2022, Marseille defeated Nice twice. However, last year, the Eagles managed to respond in kind.
